Re: [Amc-list] Fw: window regulator stripped/suggestions?

["Daniel G. Ritzinger" <danritz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As far as lubricating the hinges... I drilled and tapped the hinges on my 
'69 Javelin so that I can thread in a zerks to grease them.  Normally one of 
the small hex "plugs" are in place; I remove them and temporarily screw in a 
zerks to grease them.

Here's pics with the plugs in place:
